Only Caveat could box with Ali, interview Gore Vidal without making an enemy, and be friends with Janis Joplin while having a drink with Brando. He is one in a million and I don't believe he has ever received the credit he deserves. Brains, humor, class....love him to bits.
Dick Cavett, no Carverat
He slept with Janis Joplin* 😀
Yep no credit at all...not even his name written correctly...
So weird being watching him old when you binge watch his interviews with famous rockers and watching him old now
Time sadly passes for everybody...

Cavett is the bomb diggity! Legendary. One of the most intelligent interviewers *ever* in media history, bar none. He teased out some features of people others didn't or couldn't. And how cool is it you're talking boxing? 💃🙆
I completely agree. You knew when you saw him interview someone, he was going to connect with them, and they would get really excellent questions - sometimes tough, but always fair, and that he genuinely wanted to get to know them. He never seemed to have to manufacture interest. If someone was on his show, he was interested in them. His wit was so sharp, too. Clever turns of phrases, self-deprecating humor, etc.
I use to watch the Dick Cavett show when I was in high school. I always liked his relaxed unbiased and respectful approach to questioning his quests... a class act.
It’s a shame the interview wasn’t longer.
There's another segment
Here's the first part: ua-cam.com/video/F73OEFYwluw/v-deo.html
Actually that's what was so great about Cavett's show - it was so unhurried. He asked interesting questions and gave his guests plenty of time to give interesting answers. Maybe the closest talk show now might be Graham Norton I suppose? But Norton is a lot more humour-based.
@@Books_Makeup You should see his shows. He's really quite the masterful host.
I think cavett was surprised too, and they cut out his protests
Dick cavett is a legend, he’s interviewed many of this century’s biggest icons.
Change the speed to 1.25x and Cavett sounds as good as he did back in the day. 😃
You're right. It works.
I hope there's a button like this for my voicebox when I'm his age.
@@PaullyMiller I can't take all the credit. Someone else posted it in a different Cavett Colbert video channel.
it's true!
The only problem is that now Colbert sounds like he had way too much coffee.
Amazing!!!
Cavett is the most underappreciated tv icon in American history. I'm surprised he still does these interviews. It's beneath him, but I'm glad he does.
Muhammad Ali is still sorely missed, a great man with a great mind. 💙💙💙
And a great sense of humor. A hero of my youth for sure.
"You didn't even blink, " "that's because I know you're not that crazy"
The documentary really looks to be great. Ali was so magnificent. It's a great combination.
My brother met Ali in New Orleans. He is 5’10.”
Ali let him take a few photos of them “ boxing” and you just can’t imagine how big Ali looked next to my brother! Ali was his hero!
@@allisonroberts1379 >I met him in person 1991 in Iraq he hugged me
@@wisammoeali
That’s great! Ali was such a legend. If I had been with my brother, you can bet I would have hugged Ali, too!!
Cavett's interview with Orson Wells is an all time favorite. The legends he knew and interviewed. I can see why Colbert appreciated his substantive interviews. He carries on the tradition but at a faster pace.
He really never had to interview Orson. Orson would just get up there and talk all night. One of my favorites to watch as well. He told stories like you were there remembering it with him.
@@cloverdoll1228 I'm glad I wasn't with him when he tells them, because I'd be so starstruck I wouldn't hear or remember anything.
He was so handsome when he was younger, still is tbh for a guy his age.
my thoughts exactly!
Handsome, cute, charming, brutally intelligent but always ready to break the ice with silly. His gestures and facial expressions in that clip really took me back to junior high and high school watching him with my mom. Stephen is right-- a great lineage to aspire to.
@@victoriabaker4400 You've expressed my feelings about him exactly! I had a huge crush on him.
Dick Cavett has always been so real and treaded on subjects others wouldn't dare interview about. He was outside society's conditioning
Dick Cavett deserves a one hour interview just about his life and all the amazing people he interviewed over the years.
delighted to know he's still alive ... a HERO !!!
His interviews with Richard Burton, Marlon Brando, Groucho Marx, Orson Welles, Salvador Dali and so many others are timeless. I wish I hadn’t seen all episodes a million times so that I could watch them again. As a matter of fact, I think I’ll do it anyway ♥️🔥
u bet oh and that Hendrix interview was great too!
Salvador dali's interview was legendary hahahha. Im not over the "buterrrrrrfly" thing
Don't forget Alfred Hitchcock, John Lennon, David Attenborough, George Harrison, Ravi Shankar.... Universal indeed
Without a doubt, Cavett had more classic moments and conversations with celebrities and intellects than any other "Talk Host." Unmatched. and often brilliant and always interesting. 50-60 years.
That oreo joke was good 😂
Shhhh!
nah too obvious
Frazier got mad at that point too.
@@njr5569 today it would be, for Cavett it was the , non hateful, quick wit of the day.
I hope I'm in that kind of shape when I'm 84. .... Cavett is the deepest vessel of Modern Culture. .... He should produce one more episode of The Dick Cavett Show in which HE is the only guest. ... and make it 7 hours long.
I could listen to this for hours!! Im not the only nerd who watched Dick when I was a child.....Kate Hepburn is one of my favs!! Thank goodness for UA-cam where you can find these incredible interviews...... His show is a treasure trove of History....xo
I was one of those nerds too.
GOD the Dick Cavett show still to this day is the best talk show in late night in terms of impactful conversations. The man is a national treasure.
Cavett is the greatest of my generation. Known for his wit and being articulate. Ali was my hero and still is.
I got to say, for some times UA-cam recommended snippets of the Dick Cavett Show for me, so I just knew this man from those old videos. It's the first time I see how he looks like in 2020. It's kind of scary to see how old we get. It's the same feeling when I saw how Robert Plant looks like nowadays, after a long time only watching Led Zeppelin videos from the 70s.
In a decade or so, America will run out of living legends.
Hopefully we are minting new legends.....
What do you mean by that? How come?
Thankfully thelegend27 will never die
There will always be legends to be made
I can't love this enough 😍 Some American greatness. Some of our elders are true treasures
Cavett was a better interviewer than you'll ever be, Steph
It was wonderful to see Mr. Cavett again after all these years. Brought back a lot of memories. He is one of the greatest ever.
Cavett,
Donahue,
Tom Snyder,
Parkinson.

Dick Cavett - always informed, entertaining, and professional. Truly a class act - then and now.
Stephen Colbert has found his element...long live the king of late night comedy.
Nahhhhh the king of late night comedy should be able to interview anyone... He had some interviews were it was really awkward and he didn't know what to do...
I prefer Colbert! But none have matched the master, Carson! Cavett started as a writer on Carson. The thing I miss about Carson is his guests being we're more diverse. Opera, political writers, novelists, actors, and common people that he never disrespected like Letterman used too. Now shows have 2 actors and some band never heard of past the east or west coasts, most of the time. He has a great band with Jon, but don't showcase them. What would The Tonight show have been without Skitch Henderson or Doc Severson? Leno had Kevin and Letterman had Paul. But all east coast shows only play toward the east coast. Carson was more nation wide to inform and introduce the country to the richness of the Arts. Can you imagine a famous person just doing a "walk on" with any of these talk shows like Carson had?
Conan is The King.
@@jamirimaj6880 You should watch Cavett interviewing Dalí
That was fascinating
I envy mr. Cavett with meeting such great men like Muhammad Ali.
He also met my great hero Groucho Marx.
I hope Dick will be among us for a long time.
The great Dick Cavette, one of a kind; gave us so much that is as fresh today as when his show was live. Now in one show three of my favorite guys: Stephen Covert, Dick Cavette and Mohammed Ali. Ahh, paradise!!!
Two legends with different styles, one who's made history, and one yet to make history. Something tells me this is gonna make history.
I met Muhammad Ali, at his estate, round Christmas time. He was so very charming, down to earth, and generous. He was also very handsome, and a total gentleman.
Loved the Dick Cavett Show, and loved his columns for the New York Times. I remember his story about meeting Stan Laurel after finding him listed in the phone book. So DC knew Laurel as well as Groucho. Pretty amazing career and life he's had.
Cavett looks amazingly youthful and well for his advanced age...Incredibly well, really.
Ali is the Greatest and he will always be
Stephen is so tender. ❤️
Please upload the extended version ... PLEASE
He’s such a babe even after alllll these years! 🥰
Gad, Cavett was my go to late night guy, I stayed up way too late in HS. Glad to see him!
He's a really cool dude💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾
Falling down a Dick Cavett rabbit hole is one of my favorite things that UA-cam ever provided.
never clicked faster in my life, I love Dick Cavett
He still has such a listenable voice
I am a student of desk humour, and while Dave saved my tumultuous adolescence and is in many ways my favorite, I love Dick Cavett above all others. Whwn I was young, tv was still a thing and so old stuff still got celebrated here and there. I grew up with that. I fear the youngest generations are completely detached from where we came from together...and that may be the same fact that severs them from where we were planning on going.
Legend!!🎖
Keep having the greats on man. It's so amazing to watch you interview these people and have them tell their stories about how they came up and the friends they made on the way.
Dick Cavett is a treasure
Dick Cavett was a breath of fresh air. And he still is.
Stephen Colbert is absolutely brilliant...period!
Cavett/Ali interviews where my favourite
i discoverd Dick Cavett through UA-cam these past few years, and watched a lot of his old interviews with Ali, Orsen Wells, and others. Amazing to go from one of those interviews to this one, and see the same man 40 years later. You can tell how appreciative he is of getting interviewed by Colbert here. He probably understood that for many people like me, it was the first time we've seen him since he had his own show, decades ago.
What a fucking gentleman. Makes me think of my maternal grandfather the way he tells stories and downplays how extraordinary the circumstances were.
Cavett my favourite all time talk show host 😀
Man, he looks great and still sharp!
I used to watch dick cavett back in late 60s and 70s. He always had the most interesting people on his show. I remember Hendrix and Janis. So cool.
Dick Cavett was one of the best interviewers in his day
I love his interviews, so glad he's still with us to pop up and share some memories form time to time :)
I am so sad that this is the first time I'm ever seeing Mr. Cavett, today. The years I've missed...
I would also like to say that this sort of KIND personality seems way too sparse these days; you only find it in older people that have a certain CLASS about them. Dignity! ♥
What a pure spirit.
I always loved him, he gave the comencement address at my graduation in 1982 at UNL. He is an example of how cool people from Nebraska are! Johnny Carson, Henry Fonda, Marlon Brando, list goes on and on!
You can see his eyes getting watery reliving that moment
Dick Cavett was incredibly erudite and sophisticated. Even now watching old shows, the incredible interviews he did. He let people talk, elaborate, tell stories. Phenomenally interesting. This interview was wonderful because he was being honored. Only it was too short, too rushed, and it didn't really show Cavett in the best light because of that. He has very different timing than Colbert is the problem. Cavett always talked a bit more slowly, was thoughtful in his communication and would leave space between words. Stephen stepped on his lines too much. I feel sorry for Colbert because his interview format is so so short, and it feels a bit frantic.
I grew up watching Cavett and totally agree. He knew how to let people tell their stories. Class act interviewer. And I adored his friendship and rapport in interviews with Richard Pryor, who is still one of my favorites of all time.
Dick Cavett has to be the king of talk show.
Dick Cavett....The master of the interview!...Love from the UK
Always enjoy seeing Dick Cavett on TV.
I absolutely adore Dick Cavett!!😍❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful to see Dick Cavett, last of the gems of talk show history.
That was such a great documentary - I kept it on my DVR for a long time and watched it several times. The rapport they had was as admirable if not more so than the one Ali had with Howard Cosell.
Mr. Cavett's show should be required watching for anyone aspiring to host a late night talk show. The man was a maestro of mixing people from disparate backgrounds and ideologies, bringing them together on his show, and making it work to spellbinding effect. Sadly, those traits aren't valued anymore; all people do now is appear tp promote some project of dubious value. Discourse is dead...
One of the most influential people in my life!
This man still has a sharp memory. And he seems to have mellowed out over the years.
I think he was the last person to interview Janis Joplin before she died, if I remember correctly.
Buenomars: That show was simply great.
They slept together, too ;-) I remember seeing an interview when he talked ... well, hinted... about it
Cavett had an amazing house-band too ... check him out in this Jimi Hendrix bit! ua-cam.com/video/9Vqyj77tJfo/v-deo.html
@@poppybell8217 Wow! Could you provide the link? Every video I've seen of her on his show, I noticed they had chemistry, but never in my wildest dreams did I think had that type of relationship.
@@jesushuerta1852 Oh my gosh, I have been trying to find the link for you! I swear, I saw an interview where Dick blushed and said that he "may or may not have" slept with Janis... it was clear that he was in love with her in this interview. And if you watch the clip of him interviewing her, you might start to notice a really intense chemistry now that I mentioned this ;-)
I was just watching his interview with Ali. This is a trip 😳
mans interviewed hendrix. talk show legend
I really wish to see much more of Mr. Cavett
Dick Cavett was the ultimate professional. Always respectful, knew his stuff. God I just hate to see him aged like this. Thank you Dick for all your amazing shows!
Interesting situation, given Cavett's history of medium- and long-form interviews, and here he is for a mere blurb.
Wow, I didn't know this guy was still alive.
The coolest cat ever . Loved his interview with Jimi Hendrix
Dick is one of the all time greats.
That should have been longer.
Somebody said there is more to the interview and they provided a link... it's in the comments
He looks great for 83
Both these men had one time been the best you could be.
his voice got deep
Legend.
Dick was gymnast a long time ago- (which explains why he was in such good shape with Ali).
Amazing
They played his theme music (Candide)! Nice touch JB.
My dad introduced me to Cavett. I didn't listen then but life has a away of smacking us to Realville.
Wow i didn't know that he still life. Sir nice to see you at this age, after watched so many videos with Ali on UA-cam. He was tiny.
Clint eastwood's long lost brother
If only this talk show could have been as in-depth as Cavett's show
Dick Cavett has the best health care in the world
wow wow wow he is the best! well done!
Stephen could learn a lot from Cavett, like how to be a human being.
The Greatest
Band playing his theme as his segment ended. Classy move. :)
Dick Cavett is the coolest.
He is the greatest
Cavett in his prime was 10 times the interviewer is Colbert.
